In the revision that made it his portrait‚ he decided to get rid of a few hundred of those pages and to focus exclusively on the psychological growth of his alter ego‚ Stephen Dedalus. While it must have been difficult for Joyce to completely take out a majority of his work from the published product‚ the more precise version gave readers a true sense of Joyce and what moments in his life affected his process of growth from a

Throughout this semi-autobiographical novel Joyce recreates some of his own experiences through the protagonist Stephen Dedalus‚ who endures many different phases as he grows up.

Even the very first sentence of the novel could be interpreted as having modernist connotations‚ “Once upon a time and a very long time ago it was…‚” Perhaps a link through a figure of speech to the nostalgic image of tradition in the face of modernism and moving onwards‚ a foresight into the aim and ideas that will be played out in the book. It is at Clongowes that we
